SHANGHAI — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 19, 2016 —
Telink
Semiconductor, a fabless integrated circuit design company focused
on the Internet of Things (IoT), today launched the TLSR8269, the
world’s first all-in-one System-on-Chip (SoC) for the Internet of
Things. A multi-mode SoC that is the latest addition to Telink’s broad
range of low power wireless chips, the TLSR8269 redefines the IoT
landscape by combining the features and functions needed for all 2.4GHz
IoT standards into a single SoC.

Telink’s proprietary BLE Mesh technology already is the leading solution
for smart lighting, smart home and related applications and has been
adopted by Tier One lighting customers in US and China. With the ability
to integrate security, voice search, touch control and other factors,
the TLSR8269 is an ideal single-chip solution for human interface
devices ranging from smart home applications to wireless toys.

“The TLSR8269 concurrent multi-standard support is the culmination of
years of R&D by Telink’s leadership engineering team,” said Dr. Wenjun
Sheng, CEO of Telink Semiconductor. “It will change the face of IoT,
enabling end products to be built with a single chip that rules all
standards.”

The TLSR8269 combines the radio frequency (RF), digital processing,
protocols stack software and profiles for Bluetooth Smart, BLE Mesh,
6LoWPAN, Thread, Zigbee, RF4CE, HomeKit and 2.4GHz proprietary standard
support in a single SoC. The TLSR8269’s 512KB FLASH enables all
functionality to be embedded in every chip, and the final end product
functionality is configurable via software, providing ultimate
flexibility. The TLSR8269 can even support OTA upgrades, product feature
roll outs and upgrades.

For some use cases, the TLSR8269 can “concurrently” run two standards —
for example, Bluetooth Smart and ZigBee/RF4CE — enabling products to
bridge the smartphone and home automation world with a single chip and
no requirement for an external hub.

Security is critical for IoT applications, and the TLSR8269 integrates
hardware acceleration to support the complicated security operations
required by HomeKit, Thread and other standards without the requirement
for an external DSP, thereby significantly reducing the equipment eBOM.

The TLSR8269 supports analog and digital microphones and audio output
with enhanced voice performance for voice search and other such
applications. The TLSR8269 also includes a full range of on-chip
peripherals for interfacing with external components such as LEDs,
sensors, touch controllers, keyboards, and motors. This makes it an
ideal single-chip solution for IoT and human interface devices such as
smart lighting, smart home devices, advanced remote controls, and
wireless toys.
